What a wonderful choice for this week's Featured Stamper. Diana has a beautiful gallery, with lots of variety. I chose this card to case: ODBDSLC66 Chickadee on Cherry Blossom branch by YoursTruly at Splitcoaststampers. I don't have a single masculine card in my stash, so I decided to go with a pine cone, rather than the flowers of the inspiration piece. No sentiment, so I can use it for any occasion. I have my DH's approval that this is masculine, (I hope you agree) and he's a very tough critic! Diana, I hope you enjoy your week in the spotlight!

I'm such a sucker for bird images! This is such a nice chickadee and you've colouring it so accurately too. I think it looks great framed the way you did it. ...and yes it's guy friendly! :-)

Not only is the layering outstanding but your watercoloring is amazing! The colors and shading on your bird are so realistic! You even managed to keep the eye visible in spite of the black coloring! Fantastic artwork!

Oh, I think this definitely works as a masculine card but one that any woman would love too - who could resist such a cute bird? Your coloring is amazing and oh, be still my heart on all those lovely matting... the colors, textures, different sizes... LOVE! Thank you so much for casing me; it's such an honor! Into my faves!
